V for Vendetta.
It completely destroyed the main theme of the story, that was about Anarchy; it humanized, and therefore vilified the heroic main character while giving more space to the secondary character; it completely ignored the post WWII London setting changing it into a lame Bush administration parody; and it definitely dumbed it down.
I love the graphic novel. This movie had nothing to do with it.
But let's assume you don't care for the original. How god is it as a movie in itself? It all revolves around the final scene: masks get delivered at people's homes, then they get in the streets in a peaceful demonstration and... they win. I mean, what?

That part was awesome in the graphic novel and yet so cheesy in the movie. Now, if only "talented" directors learned how to make a movie from a story by respecting the story. For example, The Watchmen. Perfect. That's how you do it: religiously.
